An Anglican Rosary

Source

• The image is of a set of prayer beads made by an Anglican Solitary or hermit.
• Their construction included the solitary's prayers for the future users of the prayer beads.
• An image can only be an introduction or sampling, not to replace the focus obtained from the sight and handling of the actual prayer beads. Obtain your own rosary from the Solitaries of DeKoven and join in their ministry of prayer.

Structure

• The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ at the base of the bead loop.
• The larger black beginning Invitatory then ending Closing Bead immediately above the Cross.
• Four larger black Cruciform Beads introducing each Week.
• Four Weeks of seven smaller Purple Day Beads.

Symbolism

• Four symbolizes the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ with its four points and the created world with its four compass points and seasons.
• Seven symbolizes fullness or completion: the seven days of Creation, the seven days of the week, and the seven Church Seasons.
• 33 total beads reflect the years of our Lord Jesus Christ's earthly life.

Rosary

The rosary shown was blessed and given by St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Maumee, Ohio, on September 17, 2002, to its dear parishioner, Raymond Gallo, Jr., to comfort him as he completed his trip to heaven. On October 7, 2002, it remained with his loving wife Phyllis and family.
